In front of the Southern Mountains Academy, the horse carriage stopped, and Xiao Yiran returned to her usual appearance of an elegant young master, the way she pretended to be a playboy on the horse carriage just now was completely gone.

Gu Mingyan held onto the servant's hand and walked down, releasing her skirt, and then ran in.

"It seems like First Miss didn't sleep well last night. If you follow me to find Seventh Brother, perhaps you might be able to take a nap."

Xiao Yiran's gaze landed on the two dark green pieces in front of Gu Mingyan.

Hearing the word "rest", Gu Mingyan obediently returned to Xiao Yiran's side, and raised his head while smiling: "Since that's the case, I'll go with His Highness Fourth Prince."

What a lovely girl.

Xiao Yiran could not help but laugh, thinking that the royal sisters were all arrogant and willful, or maybe even dignified and proper, but were actually not like Gu Mingyan, who was so mischievous and obedient.

He thought that if Xiao Qiran could truly marry this clown back, then she could be counted as his younger sister.

With that thought, he raised his hand slightly, and the servant girl behind him came forward. Hearing Xiao Yiran's whispers, she climbed back onto the carriage and passed an exquisite embroidered box to Gu Mingyan.

"The blood jade on this earring is very good. If Eldest Miss doesn't mind, you can accept it."

Xiao Yiran cupped his hands with a fan.

After receiving the amount and opening it, one could see that the so-called blood jade was not dark red in color, but clear in color. Within it, one could faintly see the golden threads mixed within, like meridians.

"So precious …"

"Since it's so precious, it's naturally worthy of the young miss. "Just accept it."

Xiao Yiran walked forward, and gently tapped the embroidered box with the fan in his hand.

Then, the folding fan left for a while, before pushing the embroidered box back towards Gu Mingyan.

Looking at it this way, it was not easy to reject, and the matter of the gift offering was something that he was willing to accept. Gu Mingyan then retracted his train of thought, calmly said his thanks, and obediently followed Xiao Yiran inside.

When the teacher who was checking out the students at the side saw Gu Mingyan, his face darkened, but because Fourth Prince was also here, his expression changed again and again, becoming conflicted: "I wonder why His Highness Fourth Prince is here?"

"Imperial Father's study was filled with anger last night. I came here today in the name of Imperial Father to clean up the academy, and since I have a big problem, I will have to trouble Mister to allow me to go in and discuss it with the Headmaster and Seventh Brother."

Xiao Yiran had a faint smile on his face as he slightly lowered his head.

Mister quickly returned the gesture and made a gesture of invitation.

"Your Highness, please come in. It's just that …"

"It was all thanks to Eldest Miss for helping me this morning, which was unprecedented. I accidentally caused her to miss school, so I ended up apologizing to mister for Eldest Miss."

Xiao Yiran opened his mouth first.

Only then did Mister's expression soften. Since it was a misunderstanding for the sake of the prince, there was no harm in it.

Gu Mingyan took the chance to hide behind Xiao Yiran and followed him safely into the academy. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief: "Fortunately Your Highness spoke out to me, otherwise, if Sir Li were to catch me late, I would have had to take the poetry exam."

"You're often late?" Xiao Yiran found it interesting.

[There is actually a time when this obedient girl isn't obedient?]

"Never late, but always absent-minded in Mr. Li's class." Gu Mingyan scratched his face awkwardly and muttered to himself: "I can't recite any poems and songs, suddenly asking me to do couplets, I can only wait for my next life."

After hearing that, the fan in Xiao Yiran's hand landed on her forehead, causing her to immediately raise her hand to cover her head.

"Everyone wants to hit my head. What if I break it?"

Gu Mingyan turned pale with fright. It was fine to say that he was from the Mr. Xu, but Xiao Qiran had knocked him down, so he could still tolerate it.

But this Fourth Prince who had never seen her do this before, she did not understand.

Could this be an ancient tradition?

"What next life? Talking about unlucky things will naturally be punished." Xiao Yiran said in a serious tone, and said: "Knocking your head is just a warning, most people are like that, not wanting to knock your head down."

"Even so, I've been hit too many times. Everyone else was clearly slapping me on the palm." Gu Mingyan pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.

"It seems that you've been rude quite a few times."

At this time, Xiao Yiran helplessly raised his eyebrows, as his heart began to beat up.

I heard that Seventh Brother put big miss Prime Minister's Mansion on the tip of his heart to protect her, could it be that he didn't teach her these small things at all?

After slightly avoiding Xiao Yiran, Gu Mingyan thought that when he spoke up for her just now, she was definitely not a bad person. However, she rubbed her forehead that had been knocked on so many times, and still carefully hid behind her back.

Xiao Yiran only chuckled at this.

On the other hand, Xiao Yiran's servant said respectfully: "If young miss is not feeling well, and is unable to walk, this servant can find someone to send you a palanquin."

"No, no, no. I'm just walking slowly."

Gu Mingyan turned pale with fright, thinking that Shuang Hua was still trying to wipe her feet.

Could it be that the subordinates of this prince were all this meticulous?

She suddenly felt a headache, and quickly caught up with Xiao Yiran.

Along the way to the Martial Academy, and by the side of the drill grounds, Gu Mingyan saw his cousin Bai Shao being thrown on the ground from afar.

Xiao Yiran stood in her original spot, seeing her run into the circle of martial artists, he frowned: "Follow me, don't let me get hurt."

Waiting until someone followed him, the servant girl at the side spoke carefully: "That person seems to be the young master of National Duke's Mansion, and is considered to be Miss Prime Minister's Mansion's cousin."

Xiao Yiran stopped and waited.

Even though the martial artists on the drill ground were young, they were all well-built and had long arms and legs because of their martial arts training. Even young martial artists would not dare to rashly approach them, and even Yu Xiaochen, who was a little over ten years old, would be able to flip a head taller than him onto the ground.

But at this time, Gu Mingyan casually pushed the two men in front of him away.

Seeing Bai Shao's flushed face being pressed to the ground, he immediately walked forward and stopped the student who was a few years older than him. His other hand pressed down onto the acupuncture point behind him and pressed down heavily.

Ah!" The man winced in pain.

Gu Mingyan then pushed him over, and then quickly pulled Bai Shao up from the ground.

"You …" Bai Shao's voice was hoarse, but before he could say anything, Gu Mingyan had already grabbed onto his collar and pulled him to her side to let her look at his face, before massaging his arms and legs.

Seeing that Zhang Xuan was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief. "How did he end up being pressed on the ground and beaten up?"

Bai Shao clenched his teeth and did not say anything, the students beside him had heard of Gu Mingyan's story before, but because they were martial artists and did not dare to retreat, suddenly a little girl rushed over to support Bai Shao, her eyes turning red.

"Sister! They were bullying people and said that was not worthy of entering the academy to study! "
